About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is seeking applications for the "Smart Manufacturing Technologies for Material and Process Innovation" program. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) aims to drive innovation in materials, manufacturing processes, and circular materials flows to support the clean energy transition. The FOA includes four topic areas: smart manufacturing for a circular economy, smart manufacturing of tooling and equipment for sustainable transportation, smart manufacturing for high performance materials, and smart technologies for sustainable and competitive U.S. mining. Applicants must meet eligibility, cost share, and other requirements detailed in the announcement. Concept papers are due by August 22, 2024, and full applications are due by November 18, 2024.
The total estimated funding is not specified, but awards are expected to have a period of performance of 24-36 months. Projects will likely be performed at the applicant's facilities and other relevant field sites. The program is funded under the DOE's Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086), which has recently provided awards ranging from $300,000 to over $15 million for energy efficiency and industrial decarbonization research and development efforts.
Synopsis
To realize a clean, decarbonized economy, we must drive innovation to transform resources, materials, and manufacturing for energy applications. The U.S. ramp up of production of technologies that are needed for this energy transition will require new materials, new manufacturing processes, and new circular materials flows. The modernization of manufacturing can help bring these innovations on-line at the needed scale and quality faster. Smart manufacturing provides a systemic approach for this modernization that holds great promise to significantly improve productivity, efficiency, safety, security, and sustainability of U.S. manufacturing and energy systems. Smart manufacturing refers to the suite of platform technologies that directly support the digital transformation of the manufacturing enterprise across the entire production lifecycle, which includes design, process, production, supply network, and enterprise levels. Platform technologies are manufacturing technologies that can be applied to manufacture multiple products. This FOA applies smart manufacturing across four topic areas: Smart Manufacturing for a Circular Economy Smart Manufacturing of Tooling and Equipment for Sustainable Transportation Smart Manufacturing for High Performance Materials Smart Technologies for Sustainable and Competitive U.S. Mining.
